Cinnamon

Cinnamon is reminiscent of cloves, reminiscent of other spices – vegetables with striking aromas and flavors that were already worth a lot in the times of great navigation. Many spices were as prized as gold, which is hard to ______ imagine, as today a small package of cloves or cinnamon is very cheap. With the popular name “cinnamon”, several species that belong to the Lauraceae family are known. Several are exploited for their wood, such as canelinha, which is currently threatened by over-harvesting. Today, it only exists in small areas of Minas Gerais territory.
